Bright Prospects for Two Florida
Towns

1t certainly looks as II Townsville
would soon be connected with Monticello
and Tallahassee, Fla, 10y railroads. The
reports respecting the progress that is
being made in securing the necessary
means for building branches Of the sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway
from ThOmasville to both OF those
thriving Florida towns are very encour-
aging. AS is well known the proposition
is that if Monticello and Tallahassee will
grade the ROADS to the Georgia line, the
Savannah, Florida and Western will do
all the rest. Tallahassee and Leon
county have raised nearly $1,000, and
Monticello and Jefferson county have
raised nearly $4,000. These amounts ap-
pr0ximate the sums required Of them.
The railway connections they will secure
Will be Invaluable TO them, and will open
up to settlement and Development one of
the most beautiful and fertile sections OF
Florida.
In Leon county alone there are about 40O,-
600 acres Of ara lie land every acre of which
will be made more desirable and much OF
it very much more valuable by reason OF
increased railroad facilities. 1t would
be little less than calamity to the tow ms
and counties whic1 VIII be benefited by
these facilities, if. for lack of the
necessary energy and enterprise, they
should fail to get them.
Savannah is, OF course, watching the
efforts in behalf Of the proposed roads
with deep interest, because II they ar
built they will bring back TO her CONNER
cial domain territory which has been in
vaded, and, to great extent, captured
by New Orleans, Mobile and Jacks on
Vile. Under existing conditions Sayan-
nah has to ight for the share of the bust
ness OF this fertile region which she gets,
but If these branches are built her COM
mercial supremacy in Southern Georgia
and Middle Florida will be beyond dis
pute. She has, therefore, a very lively
interest in what is being done in behalf
Of these proposed roads, and is anxious
that the people Of Leon and Jefferson
| counties shall make as much haste as
possible to do their part towards building
them.
The surveys will be begun within a
| day or two, and when they are complet.
ed IL will be known what the amounts
are which the people OF Leon and Jeffer-
son counties will have to raise. There is
no reason TO doubt that they will raise 1t
promptly. The Savannah, Florida and
Western is ready to begin work as soon
as its conditions are complied with. 1t
would not be surprising if trains would
be running between Thomssville and
| Tallahassee and ThomRsvilie and Month
cello before the end OF the present year.
1t will not take long TO build the roads
after the order for their construction is
gwen,

The Legislatures of several of the
Northern States are havIng lively time
over the high license question. 1t Is one
Of the leading questions before the Logis-
latures OF New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The New York Legislature
has been discussing it for weeks, and 1t
has excited good deal OF bad feeling.
The CrOsbv bill makes the whisky license
81 900, and the beer license 800. The
prospect shat the high license people will
be successful Is quite promising.
In Pennsylvania the Brooks bill fixes
the general liquor license for the larger
cities at $500. For small towns aud
villages the amount is much smaller.
An extraordinary effcrt is being made TO
defeat the bill. On Wednesday of this
week it Will be considered in the lower
branch Of the Legislature. Its enemies
do not expect to defeat it, but hope to re-
duce the amount Of the license tax.
In New jersey the whisky men appear
to have the best Of it. jersey is noted for
her justice ana her appleiack, and her
legislators do not seem disposed to limit
the production or consumption of apple
brandy. The Coroin high license bill
has been reported by the committee
which has charge of 1t, but it is very
different bill from what it was originally.
1t is shOrn OF It's restrictive power, and in
its present shape will not effect much in
closing groggeries. Its friends, however,
may succeed in increasing the amount OF
the tax when it is taken up for consIdera-
ton.
The very strong support which high
| license ia receiving in these three States,
which have large populations in cities,
Indicates that there is either an exceed
iugly strong temperance sentiment in
them or a political movement OF some
sort, the success of which depends upon
the success of high license. 1t Is not
improbable that temperance and politics
are working together though aiming at
different objects.
Those who are the prime movers in be-
halt OF nigh license legislation are doubt
less sincere temperance people, who
would advocate prohibition II they
| thought 1t practicable and within their
reach, but who, seeing that is impossible
| at present, are willing to accept high
| license as the next best thing.
In the Legislatures the supporters Of
he nj Oh license bills are mainly Repub-
Leans. No one, of course, believes that
| the Republicans, as rule, are better
| friends Of temperance than Democrats.
They are not, in all probability, sup
porting high license because they think it
good thing, but because they hope to
win back to their party the Prohibition
vote. They have been greatly weakene d
by the loss Of this vote, and they doubt
less think that il they can get high license
adopted prohibition will cease to be an
issue. The Democrats understand their
tactics and are dong what they can to
defeat them.
But whatever the influences are which
are at work in behalf of high license, 1t
looks as If New York and Pennsylvania
would have chance to try it. If it does
not cause decrease in drunkenness and
crime, it Will help to pay the heavy tax es
which the dram shop makes necessary.

From the HeD York Tribune.
The wife Of Justice Field lately told thia
little story about Edwin NJ. stanton, the Jar
Secretary. In the lrst days OF the war Mr..
Field gave dinner party, and the Secretary
WAS one of the guests. The ladies at the table
one by one, began TO ask favors OF the head of
the then most powerful department Of the
government Mr.. stanton listened but m ade
no reply and encouraged none. Finally he
turned to the hostess and sad; MRS. Field,
have you nothing to ask for" She had not
spoken. aud had not thought Of anything SHE
desired at his hands. But she answered,
when have favor to ask IL will be for a
brave and deserving officer" The next morn
ing an officer called At Justice Field's house
with this message from the secretary: "Wilt
Mrs Field kindly name the officer TO whom
she referred last evening" After searching
her memory she thought OF young Lieuten-
ant buried at post where neither glory nor
danger was within reach. Tho orderly went
back with the note Of thanks and tho young
mans name. That Lieutenant came ont oi

Am Exnlanation Wnnted.

Adjutant General Drum appears to
have gotten himself into a rather I'M
pleasant fix. Gen. I'll. g. Gibson COM
manded the Third Artillery at the funeral
of Col. Scott, of Washington, the
other day, and soon afterward he received
letter from the Adjutant General in
which that officer said that "he was
instructed to say" that the detachment OF
Third Artillery at the funeral had been
guilty OF various Offenses against good
taste and military discipline. Strange as
it may appear, the letter appeared in
the Washington newspapers about as
soon as it was received by Gen. Gibson.
or course the General was mad, not
only because the Third Artillery had been
guilty OF no ofiense, but also because OF
the publication OF the letter. He asked
the Secretary of War for an explanation.
The Secretary said he knew nothing about
the matter and had not instructed the
Adiutant General to write the letter.
For his part he thought the Third Ar
tillery behaved very nicely at the funeral.
Gen. Gibson then addressed a note to Gen.
Sheridan calling his attention to Gen.
Drums letter. The General said that he
was out OF the city on the occasion OF the
funeral and knew nothing OF il
until he saw it In the newspapers.
Now the question which agitates military
circles is, who instructed the Adjutaut
General to write the letter to Gen. Glb-

thority to instruct MIN did not do SO.

claims that his reelection was prevented
by photographers. The Senator owned a
handsome house In Washington, exactly
similar in its style OF architecture TO the
adjoining houses. The photographer, 1t
seems, set his camera up on the corner
and photographed for two blocks each
way. Then he cut out all the front doors

outs of the photograph and sent them TO

ator was entirely too heightened to repre-
sent them.
